Hi All-

Along these lines, just a thought: A few stainless tee-nuts installed in the stern keel line, with reinforcement inside hull. A fixed external that you can screw in on windy days?
As long as the inside of the hull is sealed-no problem-and the fittings don't corrode, maybe this would work.

Any thoughts?
